“Attempts to block the tracks, block the hospital, and prevent Ukrainian citizens from entering Ukraine — this is far from showing the best side of our character ... The Ukrainian always remains Ukrainian. Temporary stay in Wuhan or emigration to Canada does not make him a stranger to his country, ”Zelensky wrote on Facebook.

He noted that “over the course of decades, the old policy has made it customary to divide Ukrainian into“ right ”and“ wrong ”.

“We will fight for every Ukrainian who is in trouble - wherever he is. Save, evacuate, exchange. Ukraine will not surrender its own. This will be government policy - I guarantee it. But the same should be the reaction of society - I really hope so, ”said Zelensky.

He noted that the coronavirus will not enter Ukraine and unprecedented security measures have been taken.

Zelensky said that several citizens were not allowed to board in Wuhan, because they had a slightly elevated temperature.

Earlier it became known that citizens of Ukraine and a number of other states evacuated from China will be sent to the medical center of the National Guard of Ukraine “New Sanzhary” in the Poltava region.
